I write in perl for some years and bought this book to find a way to work with .NET. There is a pretty basic and good overview of .NET and Perl. Easy to practice and learn. Also there are some key points for Perl in general that I found very useful.

Love Perl but wish it had the ability to work with the .NET framework? Well, this is the book for you! Let me tell you, if you program with Perl, then this book will earn its purchase price again and again. I've always loved the ease of programming in Perl, especially how well it works with sockets and network programming, but these days, you've got to be able to program Graphical User Interfaces. I've never been able to master programming GUI's using Tcl/Tk, but the C# like format of programming Visual Perl made creating Windows Forms a snap. The book gives so many examples of working with the .NET classes in any practical situation. Its got a great format including a discussion of programming with the .NET framework, a strong overview of programming in Perl, and of course the definitive guidelines to programming in PerlNET. It covers creating your own classes, components, forms, database interaction, and working with ASP.NET. It also gives an overview of working with the CPAN modules which is invaluable. The authors are intelligent, well-spoken, and are clearly experts in this particular area. You have GOT to buy this book!

This book was not only extremely valuable to me in understanding how to use Perl in the .Net Environmental, but also contains the best presentation of how to build pure Perl Modules that I have read to date. These concepts really jelled for me after reading and utilizing the examples presented in the book.With my limited experience in object oriented programming, this book presented the topics in the right order to overcome my lack of OO experience.I did have a few instances of failing to find specific terms in the index.This book will continue to be a valuable resource as I continue to refine my Perl skills in creating perl modules and utilizing Perl in the .Net environment.

Can you mix Perl and Dot.NET ??I didn't think so till now.I found the mix of Perl and Dot.NET quite strange - that's why I was surprise to see a book on that matter.I felt very curious to see how can it work together.Perl has lots of advantages that make it such an enormous success - very easy to write fast and efficient code.Ask any unix admin / programmer.The way Perl works with the rich options of Microsoft's new engine is good. I like the combination. It works well, the examples are quite good.The first part of the book looks similar to every Dot.NET one can find, but the second part is the value for this book - and that's why I liked it.Good techinal explainations and examples.It was a good investment for me.
